Two pieces of the samealso may be ocked together, as shown in Fig. 3 and used 5 as adoor,suitable strips being provided for the covering of the edge of the door.

In order to bend the sheet metal into the `forrn shown, it is bent intoopen oppositely placed dove-tailed-shape corrugations by means ofsuitable dies, the openings l5 between the inner corrugations' beingwider than the openings 13 between the outer corrugations. The sheetmetal is then placed under pressure through suitable rolls or otherwiseso rthat the sides of the outer seams 13 Aare brought contiguous therebyforming a solid outer surface. It would not depart from myinvention toform the metal sheeting, with the inner nains 14- having contiguoussides the same as outer seams 13.

I claim as new:

1. A metal sheeting consisting of a plate bent to formdove-tailed-shaped corrugations placed alternately in reverse relation,the outer edges of said corrugations placed contiguous to form asubstantially continuous flat surface and the inner edges of saidcorrugations placed non-contiguous, and attaching means between saidedges of said corrugations.

2. A rnetal sheeting, consisting of a plate `to support the same atcorrugation to hold bent to form dove-tail-shape corrugations placedalternately in reverse relation, the outer edges of said corrugationsplaced contiguous to forrn a substantially iiat surface, and attachingscrews for said sheeting inserted through the suitable opening in saidcontiguous sides and corrugation, the slotted head of said screw turnedto correspond with the crease between said contiguous sides. y 3. Ametal sheeting, consisting of a plate bent to form dove-tail-shapecorrugations placed alternately in reverse relation, the.

outer edges of said corrugations placed contiguous to forml'asubstantially flat surface 4 attaching screws in the seam between saicontiguous sides, and an angle strip within said corrugations to supportthe saine.

4. A metal sheeting, consisting of a plate bent to forni dove-tail-shapecorrugations placed alternately in reverse relation, the outer edges ofsaid corrugations lacedcontiguous to form a substantially lat surface,an angle strip lengthwise in said corrugations the seam between saidcontinuous edges, and attaching'screws. inserted through said seam andstrip and the the sheeting substantially as shown and described.

5. In metal sheeting, a plate bent to form dove-tail-shape corrugationsplaced alternately in reverse relation thereby forming theI parallelsides 11 and.12 and the bracing ori tions 15 connecting the same, thesides o theA outer seam k13 placed contiguous, and attach- 65 ing screws18 inserted throu h said seam and sheet metal corrugation Wit the screwslot corresponding to said crease, substantially as and for the pur osespecified.

6. In metal sheeting, a plate bent toforrn dove-tail-shape corrugationsplaced alternately in reverse relation thereby fonning the parallelsides 11 and 12 andthe bracing ortions 15 connecting the same, the sideso the outer seam 13 laced contiguous, an angle 7l." strip -17 placed[lengthwise within said corrugations beneath said seam to brace thesame, and attaching screws 18 inserted through said seam, angle piece,and sheet metal corrugation.
